One more reason to handle this at the Maven level, especially given the
fact that someone else bumped into similar problems and introduced
support for <useCygwinPath>.

Yes, that's what I thought too, but
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<svn-settings>
<useCygwinPath>true</useCygwinPath>
</svn-settings>
</configuration>
</plugin>
had no effect whatsoever when I first tried it, and then after looking
at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/scm/tags/maven-scm-1.2/maven-scm-providers/maven-scm-providers-svn/maven-scm-provider-svnexe/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/scm/provider/svn/svnexe/command/SvnCommandLineUtils.java,
I found out why, SvnCommandLineUtils, the code that generates the
content of the --targets file, doesn't even look at anything remotely
related to SCM configuration.
It is just:
for ( Iterator i = files.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
{
File f = (File) i.next();
sb.append( f.getPath().replace( '\\', '/' ) );
sb.append( ls );
}
which dumps OS-dependent path representation into the text file (yes,
changing backslashes into forward slashes, but this doesn't help with "C:".
This is where I would to try to patch.
If I have time tomorrow, I'll actually write the patch and see if it works.
